What impressed you positively?

My friends who are at the school said it was very laid back and they really enjoy it. The admissions staff were really friendly and excited about the school and the interviewees. My interviews were challenging but interesting.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was not very good--saw a lot of the hospital but little of the school. The students leading the tour and on the panel were not very excited about the school. My tour guide had no idea where anything was. Several students said they ended up at the school just because that was where they were matched within the Texas system, not because of any overhwelming desire to go there.
